To know certain things about the spiritual world is becoming a necessity for men. And through this they must be able to judge their position in the world from the point of view of a spiritual horizon, whereas their judgment now has only a physical horizon. You are already judging something in a new and right way when, for instance, you bring the thoughts to fruition in you that animals do not lack abstract ideas but actually live in those that are very abstract, and again, that man is differentiated from the animal by the development of his senses which are freed from the narrow connection with life in the body. It is only through this that one arrives at suitable conceptions concerning the difference between man and animal. This is outwardly expressed by the organisation of the senses in animals standing in a very pronounced relation to the whole life and organisation of the body. The bodily organisation in the animal extends very considerably into the senses.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Gewisse Dinge der geistigen Welt zu wissen, das ist es, was den Menschen notwendig wird. Dadurch muß der Mensch in die Lage versetzt werden, seine Stellung in der Welt vom Gesichtspunkte eines geistigen Horizontes aus beurteilen zu lernen, während er heute seine Stellung in der Welt nur vom Standpunkte des sinnlichen Horizontes aus zu beurteilen vermag. Sie beurteilen schon etwas neu und richtig, wenn Sie zum Beispiel einen solchen Gedanken fruchtbar in sich machen, daß die Tiere nicht etwa keine abstrakten Vorstellungen haben, sondern daß sie gerade in den abstraktesten Vorstellungen leben, und daß der Mensch sich vom Tier unterscheidet durch eine gewisse Ausbildung seiner Sinne, die sich emanzipieren von dem engen Zusammenhang mit dem Körperleben. Dadurch kommen Sie eigentlich erst zu zutreffenden Vorstellungen über den Unterschied des Menschen von dem Tier. Äußerlich drückt sich das so aus, daß die Organisation der Sinne bei den Tieren in einem sehr ausgesprochenen Lebenszusammenhang steht mit der gesamten Organisation des Leibes. Die Organisation des Leibes erstreckt sich beim Tier sehr bedeutsam noch in den Sinn hinein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":218,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/188/1919-01-03/p023"}],"english":["GA 188/1919-01-03/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":218,"en_words":215,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8259,"original_word_count":7890,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Violet E.
